MANILA -- Actress KC Concepcion doesn't mind playing an offbeat role when she returns to primetime TV with ABS-CBN's hit series "Ikaw Lamang."

In Book 2 of the drama series, Concepcion plays Natalia, the daughter of Franco, who is now being portrayed by Christopher de Leon.

Talking to reporters on Tuesday at a press conference for "Ikaw Lamang," she described her character as "not totally good, not totally bad."

"I'm very happy to be playing this kind of character," Concepcion said. "This is the kind of role I really love to do: offbeat. It's very different , very interesting and very nice to play with," she added.

Apart from the role, Concepcion said she is also grateful to be be working with "respected" actors, citing De Leon and Coco Martin.

This is not the first time Concepcion and De Leon have been cast in a project as they previously shared scenes in "Lovers in Paris."

That's why De Leon can confidently state how proud he is of Concepcion's performance in "Ikaw Lamang."

"The first time na nagkaroon kami ng eksena ni KC, she's a lot different now. She's very into it. Kasi the last time, wala kaming masyadong eksena we did Lovers In Paris" but this
time she's very serious with what she's doing. And she made me feel like I am her father and she was so sweet that time. Every scene we make ganoon na din ako, I look at her like my daughter. Medyo ang ganda ng chemistry. So far, so good," the award-winning veteran actor said.

Working with Coco

As for lead star, Coco Martin, Concepcion only has good words to share.
